FWIW Opera on the 770 and N800 gets the timezones wrong in Javascript.
Visit http://www.java-scripts.net/javascripts/ISO-Date.phtml for an
example. On my desktop it correctly shows +0200 for Europe/Vilnius,
on the N800 it shows +0300 (and the hour shown is incorrect).
Experiments with 'date' in osso-xterm show that both the system time,
and the timezone offsets are correct (compare the output of "date" with
"TZ=UTC date").
